The document discusses the rule of three and how it can be used to write persuasive opinion pieces. It recommends beginning with a clear statement of the topic and opinion, followed by three arguments to support the opinion. Each of the three arguments should be in its own paragraph, creating a three paragraph structure. Following this rule of three will make writing more engaging and convincing by tapping into how people naturally recognize patterns. The document provides examples of applying this structure to formulate opinions on several debate topics.News censorship
